The decision to have this game replayed in its entirety was based on the following items.

B- by playing only one period- not defined as an official game. Teams could protest.

D- extra cost associated for one period of hockey- ice, referee, gas co travelling team
E unfortunately there is nothing in our League constitution, Hockey Nova Scotia constitution, or Hockey Canada constitution that explains what happens if a playoff game is cancelled due to bad ice

When this decision was handed to Cole Harbour to replay the game over they officially appealed this decision.
On Sunday at supper time our League president Heather Campbell notified me to contact Payton Tench, and Cecil Greencorn as the three Vice Presidents had to make a decision on this appeal.
After debating this issue a vote of 2-1, it was decided that our league executive was still in favor of replaying this game over in its entirety, and if a game 7 was necessary the teams dress the same roster as possible.
